Welcome to The Duality of Man, an original animanga role-play that features numerous supernatural creatures. Unfortunately, these various species have distanced themselves because of the war that occurred thousands of years ago, plaguing some with eyes that only see their dualism. While others meddle themself with their differences, two groups fight, each attempting to eliminate the other in for their definition of worldly peace. These two groups of the Terror Response Syndicate (TRS) and the Assembly of Phantoms (AP). With individuals fighting merely over their differences, it brings uncertainty to the outcome of this war.
We happily accept all role-players as long as they obey the rules and are capable of meeting our word count of 50. This does include those who are unfamiliar with this style of role-playing. The staff of The Duality of Man are willing to happily help those who are new to the role-playing world so they feel comfortable on site. Feel free to message the staff if you need help, they can be found here or in the site Discord and will gladly answer questions alongside calm concerns. If you have any suggestions we would love to hear them; guests may use the support board as a suggestion area as well. Should you decide to join, may I say welcome to the site and we all hope you enjoy your time here.
Yours Truely,
The Staff
season
Summer 2022
Heat has broken through into a glorious summer. The snow has entirely dried through the spring, leaving to the brilliance of the warmer months. Terror activity has risen as people are brought out of their homes, leaving the TRS in a position of consistent work. Each are attempting to maintain victory in the endless struggle for power.
With April, an activity check has arrived for members to do! Please post on the AC and tag all your accounts, including WIPs and OOC accounts. Failure to post on this AC will result in your accounts being marked inactive or deleted. Please note, due to a late start, the due date for this check has been adjusted for one time and one time only.
arge eyes were able to take note of the sketchbook that had been put aside for his sake. It earned yet another whine out of the kitsune. Touched at the fact his boyfriend would stop for the sake of him. He know how important art was to his lover and to know he'd put a pause to his creative process for the sake of helping improve his state of mind... It made Nima lean into him more and the desire to squeeze him was stronger than ever. "You were sketching..." A soft mumble as he slowly moved himself within his hold so it was more comfortable for the both of them.
"You stopped for me too! You're the sweetest ever!" His hand lightly rested against the orange haired male's chest. "What'd I do to deserve such an angel, really?" Seeing Scott so up close like this... being in his general presence did all the healing that Nima needed. The same hand had moved to softly trace his index finger along his soft cheeks which earned a content noise out of the pinkette. "Mmm... you really wanna hear me talk poorly about the usual annoying customers and the unending gossip my co-worker engage in more?" Nima laughs it off softly.
"I'm almost certain nothing would come from me talking about how Nancy thinks Bridgette is a massive fake bit-..." He censored himself when the profanity popped up. "Had to hear it alll shift and you know- I'd be accused of being so too if I didn't smile and nod like I genuinely cared!" Nima nuzzled his face into him and another laugh came out of his lips. "Gosh! Can I also mention how she totally did nothing to help me when I had to deal with some horrible customer who insisted I ruined their whole day by failing to add something to their drink!?"
The moment his laughter ceased a notable pout had arisen on his lips. His exhaustion was practically leaking out from how he carried himself both in words and posture. Nima's had his fair share of bad days but really... this might have topped for being the worst. "Gosh forbid I didn't add the triple caramel because I've been having Nancy talk my ear up the entire time." Nima grunts quietly. "And I'm the one who got scolded by our manager."
he sound of keys jangling in his hands echoed throughout the entrance of the home as the pinkette sluggishly twisted the knob open. Having been living with Scott for sometime now since the start of their relationship the familiarity he had with the wooden coat hanger to the side and that fake-but suspiciously real plant on the other side of him were sights he had gotten very used to seeing. He set the keys down in the keyholder near the doors entrance as he lazily rid himself of his dark red coat. [break]
Today was a lot more eventful for Nima than it would be for this was your average seventeen year old. Having gotten a job at a local coffee shop while juggling the pain better known as high school and don't forget the whole reason he came to Lorsette: searching for his missing brother. Nima had his work cut out for him but all of it while stressful at times had become a staple part of his schedule. [break]
The young male signs as he slipped out of his shoes and moved them to be neatly placed near all the others by the door. His feet began to shuffle against the wooden floor as he headed straight for the bedrooms. Nima while normally would stop and fully enter his room had decided to just set his bags down near the door before turning in the opposite to enter the room near his. [break]
A familiar sight fills his eyes and the kitsune can't help but let out a low rumbling whine. "Scott..." A long day it had been indeed... and nothing better than quality comfort and tender loving care from his boyfriend would do the trick in rejuvenating him. His feet find themselves moving to where he can gently flop down on the bed besides him-- a sigh parting from his lips as his ears vaguely pick up on the sound of the television being lowered. [break]
"Today... suucked... can we cuddle? pretty please?" His emerald eyes looked up at him in desperation while his thin lips pulled into a pout.

[attr="class","smoll"]Nima is short in size, standing at 4'8" with a slim and small build. A noticeable lack of muscle comes from the lack of effort put into training his body to a point of where he's defined to show. Nima isn't lazy though, he's not the type to sit around and do nothing but the idea of gaining muscles just isn't appealing to him. He has a round shaped face with soft and plump cheeks and a rounded chin.
